27 wks and having pains every 5mins

[lylasmummy]

Yeh, so I’ve been feeling unwell all day today. The last 2hrs I’ve been noticing an awful pain in my lower back. I decided to time it, as it kept coming and going despite changing positions.

They are coming every 5 minutes and lasting 45 seconds.

I’m hydrated and worried. Any suggestions?

I would call ASAP, especially w the consistent timing. At the very least,.they will probably want to have you monitored to see if you're contracting. If so, they would obviously try to stop it. If you are at real.risk of delivery soon, it will be imperative to administer steroids to help baby's lung development.

Like most pregnancy things, this will probably turn out to be nothing. But, if it's something, there are interventions that need to happen. Best of luck.

I came into assessment centre at 8am. Has a reassuring CTG trace. Have just been scanned because this is my 2/3 episode of “rfm” cord Doppler absolutely fine, baby is over 95th centile though.

Waiting to see what happens next now

What do you mean what happens now?
Are you still on hospital?

Best of luck.
